Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a reflector and a liquid crystal display device using the reflector. [Prior Art] In general, in the display method of a liquid crystal display device, there are a method called a transflective type and a transmission type including a backlight element, and a method called a reflection type. A reflective liquid crystal display device is a liquid crystal display device that uses only external light such as sunlight and illumination light, and does not use a backlight. For example, it is mostly used in portable information terminals that require thinness, light weight, and low power consumption. In addition, the 'semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device lights up the backlight in an environment where external light cannot be obtained sufficiently, while operating in a transmission mode, and in the case where sufficient external light is obtained', it does not need to dispense with a backlight element, and operates in a reflective mode. It is often used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones or notebook personal computers (notebook PCs). The display performance of a transflective or reflective liquid crystal display device is required to have a performance capable of displaying brightly in a reflection mode. Fig. 21 is a side sectional view showing an example of a conventional reflective liquid crystal display device in which a reflective plate is provided inside a liquid crystal panel (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). A salt-reflective liquid crystal display device is provided with a light-transmissive counter substrate 101, a liquid crystal layer 11 0, and a light-reflective element substrate 1 02 in order from the incident direction of light, and is provided on the element substrate 1 02 There is a reflection-type scattering band which reflects and scatters light q transmitted through the opposite substrate 101. The scattering band is constituted by a reflection plate 130 which is composed of a high-reflection 100597.doc 200540521 metal film 122 having an uneven surface i22a on the surface and an insulating layer 128 below it. In the display area of the reflection plate 130, Two regions are formed, respectively, an area B having a highly directional reflection characteristic for a u-blade (corresponding portion of each pixel) corresponding to each pixel, and an area A having a highly diffusive reflection characteristic. Concave and convex surfaces having different average inclination angles are formed in the surface. The 忒 reflective plate 130 is made in this way .... Initial embossment is formed on the glass or silicon oxide film by spraying and the method. After that, the film is etched with an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid to form an A1 film on α 卩. As shown in FIG. 22, the convex portion 122c and the convex portion 122 (: the connecting portion (boundary portion) of the high reflectivity metal film 122 (122) have a curved surface, and the concave portion 122b and the connecting portion (boundary portion) 122 of the concave portion 12 (1 It also has a curved surface. Therefore, the inclination angle of the cross-sectional curve of the longitudinal section of the high-reflectivity metal film 122 is continuous, that is, the first-order differential coefficient of the cross-sectional curve of the longitudinal section is continuous. [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3019058. [Invention Contents [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a conventional liquid crystal display device including a reflection plate, since each pixel corresponding portion of the display area of the reflection plate 130 is formed with the above-mentioned area B and area C having the same shape, It has the reflection characteristics (characteristics indicated by curve (c) in FIG. 23) of the reflection characteristics (characteristics indicated by curve (B) in FIG. 23) and region B (characteristics indicated by curve (A) in FIG. 23). ), The same reflection characteristics' so 'the reflection characteristics in the display area are substantially the same.'

For example, a) in the case of a portable size liquid crystal display device with a vertical dimension m (a vertical dimension of about ⑷ cm) in the display area, at the observer's point of view. When the distance between the b and the center of the display area is Liy0, In the case of a liquid crystal display device in which the predetermined angle 左右 is about degrees and the vertical size of the display area is about ⑽ ⑽ (diagonal is equivalent to 1G inch), between the viewpoint of the observer. B and the center of the display area When the distance ⑽% ⑽, the predetermined angle Θ is about 14 degrees, which is about three times that in the case of 3) above. In case b), for example, when a 30-degree parallel light beam is incident on the reflector, the angle of incidence is as follows. The light incident on the upper part of the display area of the reflector is reflected at 14 degrees, and the reflection angle of the light b incident on the center is b. It is 0 degree, and the emission angle of the light c incident to the lower part is · Η degrees, which corresponds to the difference in reflectance between different in-plane positions of the reflecting plate (as shown in Figure 25, 'the difference in reflectance corresponding to the light receiving angle is large), resulting in The problem of uneven brightness. The present invention is to solve the above problems, and one of the objects thereof is to provide a reflector, which can obtain uniform and sufficient brightness even if the display surface becomes a large area. Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device that can obtain uniform brightness in a plane and improve visibility even if the area of a display area is increased. To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following structure. The reflector of the present invention is provided in a liquid crystal display device and has a reflective surface. It is characterized in that the reflection characteristic of the reflector changes according to the distance from the center of the display area on the surface of the reflective surface. The intensity of the reflected light reflected by the incident light on the surface of the reflecting surface is set to be uniform within a predetermined range of soil, and the predetermined angle satisfies the relationship of the following formula ⑴: e (^) = tan'1 (H / 2L) Formula ⑴ This In the formula, Θ is a predetermined angle; Η is the size of the above-mentioned display area in the vertical direction 'is greater than or equal to 2 cm and less than or equal to 30 cm; L is the distance from the middle of the display area to the viewpoint, which is greater than or equal to cm and less than or equal to 3 °. 0 cm ° In the reflector of the present invention, the display area on the surface of the reflective surface refers to a range corresponding to the display area of a liquid crystal display device including the reflector. In addition, the reflector of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is characterized in that the reflection characteristics of the upper portion located on the upper side than the central portion of the display region are higher than the reflection angle of the central part of the display system, and the higher the angle is, the higher the angle is. The central portion of the display area is the lower reflection characteristic at the lower side, and the rising angle is shifted to a lower angle side than the reflection characteristic of the central portion. Alternatively, the center of the display area may be used as a reference position, and an arbitrary position x of the surface of the reflective surface may be expressed as a distance from the center of the above-mentioned 100597.doc 200540521 display area, and a position above the t-center of the display area may be an upper position. When (+) is set, and when the lower position is set to ㈠, the reflection characteristic at an arbitrary position x on the surface of the reflecting surface is shifted by ㊀ (degree Han · 1 (x / L) reflection characteristics (the common L represents the distance from the center of the display area to the viewpoint, which is a predetermined angle). In the present invention, the rising angle of the reflection characteristics means that the incident light incident on the reflector is on the surface of the reflection surface The graph of the relationship between the reflected reflected light intensity (or reflectance) and the light receiving angle + is the minimum light receiving angle when the reflection intensity on the low-angle side increases. In addition, the reflector of the present invention in any one of the configurations described above is The metal film formed on the substrate or the surface of the substrate is formed with a plurality of reflective portions at irregular intervals. The inner surface of the concave portion has a curved surface that is spherical or aspherical. The inclination of the cross-section curve of the longitudinal section of the boundary between adjacent recesses or between adjacent recesses is discontinuous, and the surface of the metal film or substrate becomes a reflective surface. The plurality of recesses correspond to the center of the display area on the reflective surface. Distance, change any one or more of its depth, width (or diameter), the radius of the curved surface, or the inclination of the curved surface. Alternatively, in the reflector, a metal film or substrate formed on a substrate A plurality of convex portions having reflective properties are formed at irregular intervals on the surface of the convex portion. The inner surface of the convex portion has a curved surface that is a part of a spherical surface or an aspherical surface. The inclination of the profile curve of the profile is discontinuous, and the surface of the metal film or substrate becomes a reflective surface. 100597.doc 200540521 The plurality of convex portions change their height and width corresponding to the distance from the center of the display area on the reflective surface. (Or diameter), any one or more of the surface semi-control of the above-mentioned surface, or the inclination of the above-mentioned surface. In the Ming, the inclination of the curved surface of the concave or convex part refers to the absolute value of the angle formed between the cut surface of any point on the curved surface and the surface of the base material, or the concave. For example, in the case of a minute range with a width of 0.5 micron, the angle of the inclined plane relative to the horizontal plane (the surface of the metal reflective film) in the minute range. In addition, the liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a liquid crystal cell, This liquid crystal cell is provided with an electrode and an alignment film on the inner surface side of one substrate as an observation side in a pair of substrates facing each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, and an electrode and an alignment film are provided on the inner surface side of the other substrate far from the observation side. The liquid crystal display device is provided with the reflector having any one of the above-mentioned structure between the other substrate and the alignment film provided on the inner surface side thereof or the outer surface side of the other substrate. [Technical Effects] As described in detail above, according to the reflector of the present invention, even in a large area, uniform and sufficient brightness can be obtained in a plane. In addition, according to the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, by placing the reflector inside the liquid crystal cell or the outside of the liquid crystal army, even if the area of the display area is increased, uniform brightness, Improve visibility.

The reflector 47 provided in the liquid crystal cell 35b is composed of, for example, an organic film II and a metal reflective film (metal film) 12 formed on the organic film 11. The installation purpose of the organic film 11 is to make the metal reflection film 12 formed thereon a concave-convex shape 'so as to efficiently scatter the reflected light. The surface 12b of the metal reflective film 12 is a reflective surface. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a reflector when the liquid crystal display device is not used in an upright state. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 47 a denotes a display region on the surface of the reflective surface, and a region corresponding to the display region of the liquid crystal display device 1. In addition, in FIG. 2, the symbol (2) is a central portion of the display area 47 a on the surface of the reflector, and the central portion (2) is a horizontal band portion including the center 〇 of the display area 47 a; the symbol (1) is a display area 47 a The upper part of the horizontal band-shaped part is located on the upper side of the central part (2) (the inner side when the device 1 is inclined or horizontal), and the symbol (3) is the lower part of the display area 47a, which is located on the lower side of the central part (2). (Proximal side when the device is in an oblique or horizontal state). The reflection characteristics of the reflector 47 change according to the distance from the center portion (2) of the display area 100597.doc 12 200540521 of the reflective surface 12b. The incident light incident on the reflector 47 is on the reflective surface 12b. The intensity of the reflected light is uniform within a predetermined range of the soil. • Furthermore, the predetermined angle satisfies the relationship represented by the following formula ⑴. Θ (degree htanlHQL) Formula (I) Far formula 'Θ is the predetermined angle; Η is the size of the above display area 47a in the vertical direction, 2 cm or more and 30 cm or less; l is from the center of the above display area 47a. The distance to the viewpoint OB1 is 10 cm or more and 300 cm or less. ) For example, when Η is 30 cm and L is 40 cm in the display area 47a, since Θ is about 20 degrees, the intensity of the reflected light reflected by the incident light incident on the reflector 47 on the reflecting surface 12b is ± 2. The range is uniform. As a method of making the reflected light intensity uniform within a range of ± predetermined angles, for example, the reflection characteristic of incident light q at the central portion (2) of the display area 47a of the reflective surface 12b at an incident angle of -30 degrees is displayed, The characteristics shown by the solid φ line in FIG. 3 are used. When the rising angle is -20 degrees, the formation conditions of the unevenness formed on the upper portion (1) are controlled so that the incident angle _30 degrees is incident on the upper portion (1). The reflection characteristics of the incident light Q are higher than the reflection characteristics of the central portion. It is best to control the formation conditions of the unevenness formed on the upper ridge so that the rising angle is +20 degrees larger than the rising angle of the reflection characteristics of the central ridge, and is more inclined to a high angle, and becomes 0 degrees, so as shown in Figure 3 Dotted characteristics. In addition, the conditions for forming the unevenness formed on the lower part (3) are controlled so that the reflection characteristics of the incident light Q incident on the lower part with an incident angle of -30 degrees 100597.doc 200540521 The rising angle of the former is more inclined to the low-angle unevenness formation The conditions are controlled so that the rising angle is shifted toward the low-angle side, and the reflection characteristic of the central portion (2)-is shown in degrees as shown by the chain line in FIG. 3. It is preferable that the characteristic formed on the lower portion (3) is 20 degrees compared with the reflection characteristic of the central portion (2) so that the rising angle becomes -40 degrees. The distribution width of the reflection characteristics of the upper ridge and lower portion (3) shown in Fig. 3 is the same as the distribution width of the reflection characteristics of the central ridge. In addition, in this embodiment, the sign of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection refers to the angle of the light source side (incident side) relative to the normal direction hl of the reflector surface as negative, and the angle opposite to the light source side is positive. In addition, as another method for making the intensity of the reflected light uniform within a range of ± predetermined angles, as shown in FIG. 4, the center 0 of the display area 47 a of the reflector 47 in the upright state is used as a reference position, and the reflecting surface surface 49 is The tolerance position X of is represented by a distance from the center 0 of the display area 47a, and the upper position of the horizontal line passing through the center 0 of the display area 47a is taken as (+), and the lower position is taken as ㈠ In the following, the reflection characteristic at an arbitrary position x on the surface of the reflection surface is controlled by controlling the shape of the unevenness formed on the metal reflection film 2 so that the reflection characteristic at the reference position (χ = 0 cm) is used as a reference. A reflection characteristic having an offset Θ (degrees) = tan-i (x / L) (in the formula, l represents the distance from the center 0 of the display area 47a to the viewpoint 0bl, and ㊀ is a predetermined angle). For example, 'the size of the display area 47a of the reflector 47 in FIG. 4 is diagonal inches' Η is 15 cm, and when the distance L from the center 0 to the viewpoint 0bl is 28 cm, the symbols (i)-(vii The position X of the line and the predetermined angle θ are as follows: 100597.doc -14- 200540521 With x = 〇, the reflection characteristics of each position x (each line) are shown in Figure 5_6. The reflection characteristics of X are the angles at which each position x (each line) is biased. ⑴ line (ii) line (Hi) line (iv) line (V) line (vi) line (vii) line χ = + 7.5 cm, x == + 5.0 cm > χ = + 2.5 cm, x = 〇cm > x = -2.5 cm, ^ =-5.0 cm ^ x = -7.5 cm,

In addition, in terms of characteristics, it is desirable to respond to changes in the predetermined angle so that the formation (condition) parameters of the recesses controlled corresponding to the predetermined angle when the panel is viewed from the observation side are continuously changed. The area (band shape) within the range of A-stripe and the like is changed in its parameter to perform the above-mentioned control. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a part of the reflector 47. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of concave portions M having reflective properties are formed on the surface of the metal reflection film 12 of the reflector 47 at irregular intervals. The cross-sectional shape of the metal reflective film 12 of the reflector 47 of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 15. The inclination angle of the cross-sectional curve of the vertical cross-section at the boundary between the recesses is not continuous. In other words, the first-order differential coefficient of the cross-sectional curve of the vertical cross-section is not constant. continuous. As an example of the plurality of recessed portions 63 formed on the metal reflection film 12, the recessed portions 70 and the first and second recessed portions 70, 10 to 10 shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 are appropriately selected and formed in accordance with the distance φ from the center of the display area 47a. Any one or more of the concave portion 80 of the second example shown in FIG. 12, the concave portion 90 of the third example shown in FIG. 13, and the concave portion 163 of the fourth example shown in FIG. 14. In addition, the plurality of recessed portions 63 formed on the metal reflective film 12 change their depth, width (or straightness), the radius of curvature of the curved surface, and the inclination of the curved surface according to the distance from the central portion a of the display area 47. Any one or more. FIG. 8 shows an example of the reflection 100597.doc -16- 200540521 as a portion corresponding to the substantially central portion of the display surface, and is a perspective view showing the concave portion 70 of the first example; FIG. 9 shows the Y axis of the concave portion 70 of FIG. 8. Illustration of a directional section. The orientation is the vertical direction of the reflector in the upright state of FIG. 2 or. The inner surface of the recessed portion 7 () in this embodiment has a curved surface that is a part of an aspherical surface, and the metallic reflection film in a state where a plurality of such recessed portions 70 are provided is scattered at a predetermined angle (Example 2 30 degrees). The reflection intensity distribution of the reflected light forms an asymmetry around its regular reflection angle. Specifically, the concave portion 70 is composed of a first curved surface with a small curvature and a second curved surface with a large curvature. The first curved surface and the second curved surface have the following shapes in the γ-axis direction cross section shown in FIG. 9. The first curve A1 to the deepest point D on one side of the peripheral portion 70 of the 70 and the second curve B1 from the deepest point D of the recessed portion 70 to the other side peripheral portion S2 gently and continuously from the first curve A1. . The point D is located at a position deviating from the center 01 of the recess 70 toward the y-direction side, and the average values of the absolute values of the inclination angles of the first curve A1 and the second curve B1 with respect to the horizontal plane of the substrate 10 are respectively It is set to be irregularly dispersed in the range of i to 89 degrees, and 0.5 to 88 degrees, and the average value of the inclination angle of the first curve a 1 is larger than the second curve B 1. In addition, the inclination angle of the peripheral portion s 1 of the first curve A1 indicating the maximum inclination angle is irregularly dispersed in the concave portion 70 in a range of approximately 4 degrees to 35 degrees. In this manner, the depth d of each of the recesses 70 is set to be irregularly dispersed in a range of 0.25 or more and 3 or less. When the depth d of the concave portion 70 is less than 0.25 μm, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient reflected light scattering effect, or when the depth exceeds 3 μm, when the concave portion is planarized in a subsequent process, it is difficult to flatten the top portion thereof. The film is buried and it is difficult to obtain the desired flatness of 100597.doc -17- 200540521. When the depth d exceeds 3 m, the flattening film is too thick, and the flattening film in the outer peripheral portion of the panel of the liquid crystal display panel and near the terminals is liable to shrink and crack under high temperature and high humidity conditions. In addition, the diameter 1 of the recessed portion 70 (the maximum diameter of the opening portion of the recessed portion 70 in the Y-axis direction cross section in FIG. 9) is set to be irregularly dispersed in a range of 5 μm or more and 100 μm or less. If the diameter π of the concave portion 70 is larger than 5 micrometers, the processing time of the model used to form the reflector is restricted due to the limitation of the processing time. If the diameter 1 exceeds 100 micrometers, it is difficult to form a desired reflection. In addition to the characteristic shape, problems such as interference light are likely to occur. The diameter 丨 of the recessed portion 70 is also referred to as a dent diameter. In addition, the pitch of the adjacent concave portions 70 may be randomly arranged to prevent moire fringes caused by interference between the arrangement of the concave portions 70 and other regular patterns in the liquid crystal display device. Here, "the depth of the recessed portion" means the distance from the surface of the metal φ reflective film 12 (the horizontal surface of the metal reflective film 12) 12a to the bottom of the recessed portion where the recessed portion is not formed, and "the distance between adjacent recessed portions" refers to a plan view. The distance between the centers of the recesses. The above-mentioned shape is arranged as a dimple shape of x = 0 cm, and the shape arranged according to χ < 0 or x > 0 is changed from the shape of the dent when x == 〇cm. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing one recessed portion 80 in the second example, and FIGS. U and 12 are Y-axis cross-sectional views and χ-axis cross-sectional views of the recessed portions 80, respectively. The recessed portion 80 of the second example is a recessed portion after changing the shape of the inner surface of the recessed portion 70 of the first example. Similar to the recessed portion 70 described above, the reflected light has directivity. 100597.doc -18- 200540521 Specifically, the recessed portion 80 of the second example is composed of a first curved surface with a small curvature and a second curved surface with a large curvature, similar to the recessed portion 70 of the first example. In the cross section, the first and second curved surfaces respectively have a first curve A ′ from the peripheral portion S1 on one side of the recessed portion $ 0 to the deepest point D, and a continuous succession from the recessed portion 80 to the i-th curve A. The shape represented by the second curve B ′ from the deepest point D to the peripheral portion $ 2 on the other side. The deepest point d is located at a position deviated from the center 〇1 of the recessed portion 80 toward the y-direction side, and the absolute angle of the inclination of the first curve A ′ and the second curve B with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a of the metal reflection film is absolute. The average value of the values is irregularly dispersed in the ranges of 2 degrees to 90 degrees and 1 degree to 89 degrees, respectively, and the average value of the inclination angle of the first curve A 'is greater than that of the second curve b. Bigger. In addition, the inclination angle δα in the peripheral portion s 丨 of the first curve A, which represents the maximum inclination angle, is approximately irregularly dispersed in the range of 4 to 35 degrees in each of the recesses 80. As described above, the depth d of each of the recesses 80 is irregularly dispersed in a range of 0.25 to 3 m. In addition, the diameter 1 of the recessed portion 80 (the maximum diameter of the opening portion of the recessed portion 80 in the γ-axis direction cross section in FIG. 11) is set to be irregularly dispersed in a range of 5 μm to 100 μm. Moreover, the pitch of the adjacent recessed part 80 is arrange | positioned at random. The above-mentioned shape is arranged as a dimple shape of x = 0 cm, and the shape arranged as x < 0 or x > 0 is changed from the shape of the dent when x = 0 cm. On the other hand, the shape of both the first curved surface and the second curved surface is a shape that is approximately symmetrical with respect to the center 01 of the X-axis direction cross section shown in FIG. 12. The shape of the cross section in the X-axis direction is the inclination of curve E at the periphery of the deepest point D with a large curvature (that is, a gentleness close to a straight line) with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a of the metal reflective film 100597.doc -19- 200540521. The absolute value of is approximately 10 degrees or less. In addition, the absolute value of the tilt angle with respect to the surfaces of the deep curves F and G (the horizontal plane of the metal reflective film) 2a is irregularly dispersed in a range of 2 to 9 degrees. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a concave portion 90 in the third example. The concave portion 90 of the third example is changed! The recessed portion of the example has an inner surface shaped recessed portion. The inner surface of the concave portion 90 of the third example has a scattering reflection of light that is a curved surface that is a part of a spherical surface and is incident at a predetermined angle (for example, 30 degrees) on a metal reflective film in a state where a plurality of such concave portions 90 are provided. The reflection intensity distribution 'is approximately symmetrical over a wide range with its specular reflection angle as the center. Specifically, the inclination angle eg of the inner surface of the recessed portion 90 is set in a range of, for example, 30 ° or more and + 30 ° or less. In addition, the spacing of the adjacent recesses 90 is arranged at random, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of moiré fringes caused by the arrangement of the recesses 90. Further, the diameter 1 of the recessed portion 90 (the maximum diameter of the opening portion of the recessed portion 90 in Fig. 13) is set to be irregularly dispersed in a range of 5 m or more and 100 m or less. Further, the depth of the recessed portion 90 is formed to be irregularly dispersed in a range of ≧ µm to 3 µm. This is because when the depth of the recess 90 is less than 0.1 micron, the effect of reflected light cannot be sufficiently obtained. When the depth exceeds 3 micron, in order to meet the above conditions of the inclination of the inner surface, it must be enlarged. The pitch of the recesses 90 may cause moire fringes. Here, "the depth of the recessed portion 90" means the distance from the surface of the metal reflection film 12 (the horizontal surface of the metal reflection film 12) i2a to the bottom of the recessed portion 90 100597.doc -20- 200540521 "The distance between adjacent recesses 90" refers to the distance from the center of the recesses 90 having a circular shape in plan view. Also, the inclination of the inner surface of the recesses 90 means "as shown in FIG. 13, At any position of the inner surface of the recessed portion 90, for example, when a minute range with a width of 0.5 micron is taken, the angle eg with respect to the inclined horizontal plane (the horizontal plane 12 of the horizontal plane of the metal reflective film 12) within the minute range. Positive and negative are defined as normal with respect to the surface of the metal reflective film 12 in the portion where the recessed portion 90 is not formed. For example, the slope on the right side of FIG. 13 is positive and the slope on the left side is negative. The shape of the dimpie is obtained by changing the shape of the dent when x = 0 or x> 0. The cross-sectional view of one of the dents 16 3 in 4 examples is shown in FIG. 14. The recessed portion 1 63 of the fourth example is changed from the recessed portion 7 of the first example. The inner surface shape of the specific longitudinal section γ of the concave portion 163 is composed of the following: The i-th curve j from one peripheral portion S 1 of the concave portion to the deepest point D, and the φ first curve ; A second curve K that is continuous and from the deepest point D of the concave portion to the third curve or line N, and a third curve or line N that is continuous with the second curve κ and goes to another peripheral portion. The first and second The inclination angle of the two curves at the deepest point D in common with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a is 0 and connected to each other. The inclination ratio of the concave portion 163 with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a of the first curve j is relative to the inclination of the second curve K or It is larger than the third curve or straight line N, and the deepest point D is located at a position shifted from the center 0 to the direction of y. That is, the average value of the absolute value of the inclination of the first curve J with respect to the substrate surface i 2a (Hereinafter, referred to as the average value of the inclination angle of the first curve J), the average value of the absolute value of the inclination angle of the second curve κ with respect to 100597.doc -21-200540521 substrate surface (horizontal plane) 12a, and the third curve or The inclination of the straight line N with respect to the substrate surface (horizontal plane) 12a is absolutely The average value of the values is large. In addition, the average value of the absolute value of the inclination angle of the second curve K with respect to the substrate surface (horizontal plane) 12a (hereinafter, referred to as the average value of the inclination angle of the second curve κ) and the third curve or straight line N The average value of the absolute value of the inclination angle with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a (hereinafter, referred to as the average value of the inclination angle of the third curve or the line ^^) is different. In this embodiment, the average value of the inclination angle of the third curve or the line N is平均值 2 The average value of the inclination angle of the curve K is large. In other words, the curvature radius R1 of the first curve J is smaller than the curvature radius R2 of the second curve κ and the curvature radius R3 of the third curve or the straight line L. The third curve or The magnitude of the curvature radius R3 of the straight line L is smaller than the curvature radius R2 of the second curve κ. The third curve or straight line l is a straight line when the radius of curvature R3 is ①. The average inclination angle of the first curve J of the plurality of concave portions 163 with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a is irregularly dispersed in a range of 1 to 89 degrees. In addition, the average inclination angle of the plurality of concave portions 163a with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) i2a of the second curve K is irregularly dispersed in a range of 0.5 to 88 degrees. In addition, the average value of the inclination of the third curve or straight line N of the plurality of recesses 163 with respect to the surface (horizontal plane) 12a is irregularly dispersed in a range of 0.5 to 88 degrees.的 The inclination angles of the 1st curve, the 2nd curve, and the 3rd curve or straight line change gently, so the maximum inclination angle 5max (absolute value) of the first curve J is larger than the maximum inclination angle (absolute value) δ of the second curve κ) and the third The maximum inclination (absolute value) δο of the curve or straight line ν is large. In addition, the inclination angle of the deepest point D continuous with the first curve J and the second curve K with respect to the surface of the substrate is 0, and the i-th curve j and the inclination with a negative inclination angle 100597.doc -22- 200540521 The two curves K are smoothly continuous, and the second curve K and the third curve or straight line ν having a positive inclination are also smoothly connected. In the reflector of this embodiment, each maximum inclination angle Smaxf of the recessed portion 163 is regularly dispersed in a range of 2 ° to 90 °. However, the maximum inclination angle 5max of the plurality of recesses is irregularly dispersed in a range of 4 ° to 35 °. In addition, the concave surface of the concave portion 163 has a single minimum point (point on a curved surface with an inclination angle of 0) D. And the distance between the minimum point D and the substrate surface (horizontal plane) 12a of the substrate forms the depth d of the recessed portion ι63, and the depth d is irregularly dispersed in the plurality of recessed portions 163 in the range of 0 micrometers to 3 micrometers, respectively.

Since the average value of the angle of inclination or the third curve or straight line L with respect to the substrate surface 12a is large, the reflection characteristics thereof are shifted from the direction of regular reflection with respect to the substrate surface 12a. That is, the reflection characteristic is a reflection characteristic in which a bright display range is deflected toward the incident light from the obliquely upward direction from the Y direction, and the reflected light is shifted toward the surface normal direction than the specular reflection direction. 100597.doc -23- 200540521 In the portion where the plurality of recesses 163 are formed, each of the second curve κ, the third curve, or the straight line N is formed to be oriented in a direction opposite to the first curve: and the third curve or The average value of the inclination angle of the straight line N is larger than the average value of the inclination angle of the second curve ruler. The comprehensive reflection characteristic on a specific longitudinal section γ is expressed as the increase in the reflectance in the direction reflected by the surface around the second curve κ, In addition, the reflectance in the direction reflected by the surface around the third curve or the straight line 1 is larger than the magnitude of the reflectance. Therefore, a reflection characteristic in which the reflected light is appropriately concentrated in a specific direction can be achieved.
